Stale water odour when jets havent been used on massage type spa

Stale water odour when jets havent been used on bath for 24 hours or more .Have tried runing pump on bah after emptying it to make sure all water out of jets but problem still occurs.I will admit that when first using the bath that I used small amounts of bubble bath products but have sinced ceased,please help

There are several cleaning methods on the internet. I would contact the maker of the tub and see if they have a cleaning agent. I know that Jacuzzi and Aquatic industries have a cleaner that works rather well. I have seen one on the net that uses 2 teaspoons of powder dishwasher soap mixed with bleach. I have not tried this one so don't know how well it works. The ones from the tub companies are not cheap, but if you want something that is going to do the job, spend the money.

Review of hot spa by Helen of troy .... i have this same foot spa. pros: is it can heat cold water, cons: doesn't have adjustable heat temp, not ...

The water jets in most spas are adjustable so you can turn the water flow down to just a trickle if you want to.
You don't take current spa jets out of the spa. They are held in place by a couple of tabs. Through the years the chlorine/bromine will deteriorate those tabs and the spa jets will start "popping" out when the jets get turned on.
If you pull the jet insert out the socket they are in, you will ruin the jet insert and it will need to be replaced.

If you are experiencing a "smell" coming out of the water when you use the tub then you should use one of the products that are made for cleaning jetted tubs pipes.
Here is a link to a site that carries those items. These will get rid of the nasty smell and flecks of bacteria when you use the tub too.

Cleaning your Tub
There are several options for cleaning the piping on a jetted bathtub.
The reason you have a residue on the bathtub surface when you are done bathing is because there is bacteria built up in the plumbing of the jetted tub. In order to remove that and reduce the amount of "yucky stuff" coming into the tub when using it, we recommend a regular usage of a jet cleaning product about once every couple of months
Here is a link at the bottom to the cleaning products I can find right now. There may be others out there that I am not aware of but I do know these products work well in all jetted bathtubs.

I like it's designing.A whirlpool tub provides a deep tissuemassage. Water is pulled from the bath, passes through the pipes, and back outthrough a jet - providing a massage to the areas in front of the jets.Whirlpools provide the most vigorous form of massage. They can be combined withan in-line heater that will maintain the temperature of water within a fewdegrees of what it was poured at for as long as the whirlpool is running. Inorder to get a good reputation now they are made from quality acrylic, heavy duty fiberglassbacking, quality motors and jets. In the past they had a bad image.They recoveredfrom that by using good materials for manufacturing.

Paragon 8145-20 is a 240V defrost timerIt is probably not best choice for water heater timerTimer initiates defrost cycles each 4 hours.

A water heater timer should have more scheduling options.-For example estimates show average run-time for water heater is 3 hours per day, depending on incoming water temperature, thermostat setting, and number of gallons used. -To save money using water heater timer, you have to schedule times carefully so water heater runs less than 3 hours per day.-Now your average electric water heater heats about 20 gallons per hour.-Average shower uses 4-9 gallons hot water, so water heater needs to run 15-30 minutes (15 summer, 30 winter)-Average bath uses 12-15 gallons hot water so water heater runs 45-60 minutes-But lets say you run water heater for 1 hour and make 20 gallons of hot water. Then you take a shower, expecting hot water to remain in tank. -Here's the problem ... cold water entered the tank to replace the shower water ... and the new cold water is cooling the rest of the tank.-So a timer means scheduling hot water to match shower and bath events. For example taking shower and bath in immediate succession. -Or set the timer for each individual hot water event ... for example set timer for 1/2 hour for shower, and later timer turns on 1 hour for bath, or 1-1/2 hr for 2 baths, etc-> The flexible programming described above is not a characteristic of defrost timers.I suggest Intermatic WH-31 240V or Intermatic T-104 240V or GE 15207. These are mechanical repeat-24 hour timers with manual override where each day has same schedule.Digital programmable timers like Intermatic EH40 offer 7-day, 40 event programming. Weekends and weekdays can be different.To see several box-type timers:http://waterheatertimer.org/Boxtype.html

Bubble bath is definitely out of the question. Provide any of the products that you are using do not have a detergent base or bubbles so to speak, you can use them. Depending on how many times a week you use it you might want to get a cleaner that they use on hot tubs from you local pool distributer. I hope this helps you.

whirlpool tub has jets that circulate the water, where an air bath uses bubbles that rise gently from the bottom of the tub. Whirlpools are typically used for therapy, air baths are used for a much gentler experience. Air baths can be used with aromatherapy/essential oils. Both offer a spa-like experience.
